Energy models support decision- and policymakers who have to decide on decarbonization strategies and energy policy options. However, energy models are often not geared to the needs of the users. Hence, despite increasing methodological sophistication and rapidly growing detail, the usefulness of models as advice and policy support tools may be limited because they do not take into account all user issues. The SENTINEL Deliverable 1.2 “User needs for an energy system modeling platform for the European energy transition” identifies needs of energy modellers and users of modelling outcomes in policy, industry, civil society, and science, both in the present…

We are glad to inform you that our work entitled “A Comparison of Dispatchable RES Technoeconomics: Is There a Niche for Concentrated Solar Power? ” has been published in the Energies MDPI journal, detailing the outcomes of our latest research activity carried out in the frame of the EC-funded “H2020 MUSTEC” project. Read our Open Access work about the comparative advantages of diverse RES technological solutions coupled with storage, as well as the circumstances required in order to enhance the expansion of CSP, following the link here.

o How is the performance of energy markets affected by the different support mechanisms both in the short- and the long-term? o How can a roadmap of least resistance for a policy measure to attain its goals be developed, without compromising, in parallel, the further development of electricity generation sources? Οur article entitled “An Ex-Post Assessment of RES-E Support in Greece by Investigating the Monetary Flows and the Causal Relationships in the Electricity Market”, now published in the Energies MDPI journal, sheds light on these critical questions.
